All other student government organizations at Kansas regents institutions have approved resolutions opposing concealed weapons on their campuses.
The student government association at another public university in Kansas has gone on record opposing concealed carry of firearms on campus.
The Student Senate at Pittsburg State University adopted that position on a vote of 22-16 Wednesday night. The university's administration had already stated its opposition to concealed carry.
The vote followed an informal survey that showed 53 percent of students at the southeastern Kansas university in favor of allowing concealed carry, with 44 percent opposed.

Go figure... when liberals are in positions of authority, liberal views will be expressed... often contrary to the population at whole. Our State schools have been liberalizing teens for years. Only a lib can believe that a 6" square sign can prevent crime.

10-4 on that! My thoughts on the whole thing is your general crimes would go down. Like rape, mugging, assualt and misc. I know if I was going to steal something from someone or rape a girl and they allowed firearms, I would really think twice. If a rapest grabs a girl she spins around and shoots him I say that's the best kind of justice.

Number one most girls would not carry a gun so that therory is just that. There are not any problems showing a need to carry guns by college students and until that time there is no need to.

Aurora not exactly true. The Kansas Attorney General released this info. Women have shown a high interest, with nearly 2,500 applying in 2012, a 57 percent increase over last year. If SGA really wants the student body involved they should begin listening to them.
